Very friendly atmosphere. They try an accommodate special non menu requests. Their wings are excellent, both grilled and fried. We asked for a blackened dry rub with they delivered. Drink prices are fair and service is very good. The prime rib sandwich comes with plenty of meat which was delicious. Will be back often as long as we are in town. read more

Ordered the shrimp burger today. Unfortunately there were not enough shrimp to fully cover my sandwich. You could only taste the bread and slaw. I would not order again. My wife had chicken fingers and she loved them. I sill recommend because meals I eaten here before were delicious. read more

This place never lets me down, 10/10 food every time, prices are unbeatable, they just need to expand because theyre allways so full

Fast service .. ordered fish and chips fish a little under cooked, fries just ok . Nothing special here.. be hard pressed to go again..

Good,casual food for an easy night! Plenty of TVs around for all the sport enthusiasts. Service was quick. I wouldn't go there if you are trying to drop a few pounds, because cheese sounds on a lot of the food. Probably why I enjoyed it so much. Also very affordable, it didn't cost any more than a fast food run and we got to sit down and be waited on. Much needed easy going restaurant in the New Bern area. Word must be out, it was packed. read more

Being new to the area went to this establishment bout 2 weeks ago for prime rib and it was ok but liked the atmosphere. This evening we went one person is in a wheelchair and I ran in to inquire how long the wait would be . 15 min waiting to see how long the wait will be ( still didn't after 15 ) . I asked a waitress and she ignored and flew by . Said excuse me and was cut off and she stated " go to McDonald's "!! So after being ignored and have to listen to a wise cracking waitress I walked out and spent my money elsewhere ! Me being an owner of an Italian restaurant would never have my waitresses. Talk to their patrons like that! As I stated in the beginning, the food was good, but not great to be abused like that! read more

Good service. Good Food. Just wish the cooks would cover that ass crack. No one wants to see wedgie drawers of people preparing food. read more

Having been recommended, I had lunch at Spunky McDoogle's and ordered the fish and chips. First let me preface by saying that the pub is really nice and had that "Irish" vibe. The staff was very nice and our server was exceptional. My disappointment was what I'd ordered; thinking that McDoogle's was emulating a real Irish pub. My fish looked reminiscent of when I was a child eating Mrs. Paul's frozen fish filets on Friday's during lent. I received three perfectly and Identically formed fish filets, and I may be wrong, but they did not resemble fresh. A fist full of fries was included - which actually saved the lunch, but nothing else...no slaw, etc. Perhaps my expectations were set a bit high - I will go back and try something else because I really did enjoy the ambiance of McDoogle's. read more

Visiting my mother from out of town it's one of her favorite restaurants to get the sirloin from stop by pick it up for her today along with some lobster bisque which was absolutely amazing always a friendly staff and great restaurant read more

The place is a bit cramp for my liking but the food was delicious. I had the baby back ribs with fries. It was delicious and the service was great. Keylime pie was worth it. Ambiance is a bit dark. Can't complain. read more

A good restaurant to beat the prices of going downtown for dinner. Service was good food was average can't complain about an all around good place. The fried mushrooms were very good the kids nachos were basically "poor man nachos" so definitely steer your kids away from getting that, but other than that it was a okay restaurant read more

Be prepared to wait if you go during their busy times. The food is really good though.Quite tight in there. Bathrooms could use a good cleaning. read more

Food was good; Service was excellent. We enjoyed the relaxed environment. The myriad TVs all had different games showing.

Spunky's is consistently good. Gotta have the wings fried and grilled! There's always a special of the day to try. Reasonably priced quality food in a family friendly restaurant. read more

The food, service and ambience are great! The wings and excellent! Good selection of food.

Wings are the best in New Bern. Came right as they opened on Sunday and glad we did because they got busy fast! We sat at the bar and they offered fast service with food and drinks. Smaller bar but still great ambiance! Will come again. read more

I love everything about this place! From the dirt cheap beers to the super tasty food! It's small but I kind of like small dive bars like this. Seriously if you're in the area and you want an amazing meal with some cheap beer, this is the place to go! read more

Wife and I stopped by for dinner on 7/5/25. Waitress took our order without writing anything down and I ordered a Reuben with no cheese because of an allergy and my wife ordered fish n chips with cocktail sauce. Waitress brings out a Reuben with cheese and Fish n chips with no cocktail. Waitress brings removed the Reuben and it took another 20 minute to get my sandwich. Wife was done eating so I cancelled the order, paid my bill with tip and left. Restaurant needs to be more aware of people with food allergies!!! read more

Great food and service! The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. The service was quick and our food was very good.

They never let me down. Food is always amazing. Customer service off the charts always.

My wife and I stopped in here for the first time. I had read some nice reviews so we wanted to give them a try. It's a cozy bar and grill that would be great for lunch or dinner. After checking out the menu, we both wanted to try the cheesesteak hoagie. Being from Philadelphia and having had the real thing, we knew nothing could compare but we went in with open minds. Kathey got the cheesesteak along with a house salad while I chose fries and a cup of vegetable beef soup with my cheesesteak. The sandwiches were a bit drier than an original Philly cheesesteak but overall it was good. The food was served very hot and it was flavorful. A little more sauce or something else to moisten it up and the cheesesteak would have been much better. So, we are glad we stopped in and will probably go back again to try other items on the menu. read more

Found this place and decided to give it a try. Upon walking in the atmosphere is friendly and great. The noise level is a bit high, but that is to be expected for a bar. It was clean and kept nice inside also. The server was great and did her job well. Now, if you want the coldest beer you've had, they got it. If you want some of the best wings you've ever eaten, get to this place. Beer and wings were fresh and full of flavor. The other foods ordered were good and I'd have to say the shrimp, stay clear of. There was some negative to the place, starting with the margarita. Beer is their specialty. Stick to that when you're here. Probably the worst margarita I've had. I also got the shrimp in Buffalo sauce and it was a bit dry and didn't taste very fresh. I had my doubts on it. I was right. Now with all this being said, again, the wings are hot and the beer is cold. Everyone has some bad, but these guys and gals bad won't deter me from being back here again. read more

Great attention and good food. We enjoyed it very much and would go back the next time we are in town.

Been in New Bern about 10 months and keep trying different places to find something decent - a lot of disappointments. Finally made it here for lunch and was actually ine of the better meals I have had in town. We had the special which was chicken and dumplings and the ruben sandwich with macaroni salad and onion rings. Everything was really good! Ruben grilled really well, onion rings nice and hot and crispy. Chicken and dumplings had lots of chicken and good flavor. Will definitely be back to try other things! read more

Came from out of state to visit "Gentleman of the Bar" a somewhat memorial for my late father who passed away. Had a party of 4 adults and 2 infant children (age 1 and 2) Wait staff refused to seat us as they counted the infants as adults and stated they "didn't have the space" We waited an hour as we watched countless other parties who arrived long after us be seated, and stared at several empty large booths that could very easily seat 6 adults... (apparently their policy is only 4 people per booth) After an hour we left. Our party was even passed over 3 times with an empty table with 4 chairs for the adults... as the babies could've very easily used high chairs) and was told again they didn't have the space. One member of our party even offered to leave so the others could be served and was still told no. VERY disappointed. Won't be back read more

Came here on the way back from the airport with my daughter. We wanted a quick bit as i was getting hangry so we stopped here. Place was crowded for a Monday afternoon but the people and staff were friendly. My daughter had the 4 oz seared tuna and cole slaw and i had a grilled chicken sandwich with snap peas. The chicken sandwich was cooked great and was a nice sized chicken breast but the snap peas were overcooked and soggy. The prices were very reasonable and the service was prompt read more
